In this paper, we present empirical evidence showing that a different kind of Differential Object Marking (DOM) in Spanish “Psych” experiencer verbs can be distinguished. On the one hand, we found obligatory contexts of marking (regardless of the argument structure of the verb and the animacy/specifity of the object). These are connected with the presence of deictic person features, triggered by dative clitics or objects which bear a locative/partitive relationship.
On the other hand, we can found optional marking, determined by the experiencer-subject/causer-object´s structure, which will be related to a default semantic value of causer in the object projection identified by the preposition.Idioma: EspañolDOI: 10.7557/1.4.1.3154Año: 2015Publicado en: Borealis (Tromsø) 4, 1 (2015), 79-98ISSN: 1893-3211Tipo y forma: Article (Published version) Área (Departamento): Lingüística General (Departamento de Lingüística General e Hispánica)Exportado de SIDERAL (2018-03-15-11:25:37)
